People who ate at P.F. Chang’s China Bistro in Palo Alto may have had their credit or debit card information stolen, the company said Monday.

In a statement on its website, P.F. Chang CEO Rick Federico said the Palo Alto restaurant at 900 Stanford Shopping Center was among 33 of the chain’s locations nationwide where customers may have been victimized by a security breach between April 10 to June 11.

Federico said the U.S. Secret Service alerted the company to a “possible security compromise” on June 10 and that by the next day, restaurants had been “securely” processing credit and debit cards.

“The potentially stolen credit and debit card data includes the card number and, in some cases. also the cardholder’s name and/or the card’s expiration date,” Federico said. “However, we have not determined that any specific cardholder’s credit or debit card data was stolen by the intruder.”

Customers should check their bank statements and credit reports for any signs of fraud, the company said.
